Nation/Nederlandum

The Kingdom of Nederlandum is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 248 million Nederlandumians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The strong Nederlandumian economy, worth 15.5 trillion Nederlandum kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 62,652 Nederlandum kronor, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 481,775 per year while the poor average 2,181, a ratio of 220 to 1.

Naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, thieves are flogged in public for their crimes, bicyclists are banned from major roads, and voting is compulsory. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Nederlandum's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Nederlandum is ranked 21,051st in the world and 1st in The Eurasian Unionists rp region for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,419.51 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
